We were finally able to make a trip back home to Kansas in January for my grandpa's birthday. This was the first time we had been back in almost four years and it was really nice to see all my family again. My nephews, Josh and Jaxon, had so much fun. All Josh talked about for like the next two weeks was being on papa Ray's farm and playing with the cool guy (Uncle Jerry).
Josh, 4, got to sit in all the tractors and he even got to drive the Gator. If that isn't the coolest thing in the world for a 4 yr old I don't know what is.
This was grandpa's 80th birthday and to be compeltly truthful he would rather have spent it at home in his recliner watching the game, but we had a party for him. And as we all know things don't always go as we plan. 15 minutes before we were set to leave for the hall the only toilet in the house began to back-up and it was decided to take it outside and clean it.
Maybe not the best idea, becasue once they took it off the discovered how difficult it would be to put it back on. And yes they were spraying it out with a garden hose on the front yard:). This was one of the funniest things in the world to watch and I only wish I had video taped it. America's Funniest Home Videos has nothing on this! Luckily for us the one holding the hose is a plumber and knew what he was doing, hopefully :) Finally it was decided to simply get them a new toilet and not mess around with this really really old one any more. With as much excitment as there was that morning, we did finally get to the banquet hall for the birthday party.

So once we FINALLY got there it was time for cake, for what would a party be without cake. And of course all the people who come to wish you well. It's funny I had a bunch of people come up to me and say you're Angie's daughter and I say yea, but in my head I'm thinking 'and who the hell are you'. Sadly I don't know alot of my family, there are just to many of them and I'm not there nearly enough to know who they are. But altogether it was a really fun weekend and it was great to be able to see all my family after so long.
And of course what would a party be without the stripper! Jaxon--->
Ahhh they learn so young.
